Looks like even one of our biggest clubs aren`t bringing through their own talent.

How come he’s not been out on loan last season or even the first half of this? Would have thought they would have wanted him getting competitive 1st team games somewhere? Not sure the new owners will have much in the way analytics on him given he’s been in the b team?

What we have seen from our previous b team signings is that they look really good at league 1 level but struggle to make an impact in the championship.

Otoo was from a B team. Arguably, our most consistent performer.

Ewan Otoo was signed from a B team and is arguably our best player.

I reckon at least one person will quickly agree with me.

Richie hosler is a good player at this level and that will show more this half of the season.

Otoo might be our best player but he’s hardly had a good season and isn’t a stand out in games despite being surrounded by poor performers. KRH has improved recently but has shown precious little so far this season.

My point is that these are punts, they could be like Walcott and make an impact or they could be like Benjamin and be way off it.

What’s the chances of these guys being decent consistent championship level players? The type we’ll need to get out of this.

Who would you go for Berkey?

The January window is a tricky one, I share Berkeys caution. The most successful window for the Pars bought M Hardie + K Rutkiewicz to push for promotion, it worked big time.

I really hope MT has a plan & it’s not some last minute bargain bin rake to get bodies in.

Time will tell………..not something we have a lot off to get this right.

I`m not saying we shouldn`t be cautious. I`m asking him to come up with some suggestions as to who we can realistically go for. It`s a pretty simple request.

For the winger positions, I would consider Alan Forrest or Declan John. The January transfer market tends to be unremarkable for teams of our lesser stature. Realistically, the youth seems to be our only viable option.
I would prefer to secure just one signing in this window—an experienced central midfielder who embodies leadership. This way, we can establish a solid spine in the team comprised of Bene, a leader, and Kane.

Both certainly worth asking about but both in their respective match day squads.

I didn`t ask you though 😀

Not easy to find, even pre season, is there any available that would want to come and have a relegation fight?

A bit like hens teeth, or "a striker"

I was thinking Ian Ferguson or Martin Hardie, unfortunately they are like hens teeth.

I wonder if Tidser feels there is life in the old legs yet? If he was sharp he`d fit the criteria perfectly, especially with runners around him.

In fairness to them they’ve actually got a view talented players breaking in . Bailey Rice and Zak Lovelace are two that come to mind.

The days of getting a player like Martin Hardie on loan at the pars is over.
That season we got him and I think it was Rusty… they started a great run.

I would say both Otoo and KRH were well off the pace when they first joined. If I remember right, McPake threw them both on against Montrose and we ended up loosing 2-1 🤔 only loss that season.

My point being, we were able to give them both a little time being in League 1. Otoo has went from strength to strength since

KRHs first game was off the bench in a 2-2 draw vs Peterhead. We were 2-0 up going into injury time if I remember rightly.
